"Bondho Janala" is the third studio album by Shironamhin. Released on April 13 of 2009 from G-Series, the album was paramount in making the band be deemed as a psychedelic rock band. This was a challenging step direction for the band, but they were successful in mastering the lyrics, as well as incorporate and explore many classical acoustic instruments that included esraj, silver flute, trumpet as the album was enriched with vivid orchestration - something that was unique to Shironamhin at the time of release. Accompanying the "Urban Life" influence in the lyrics were various historical events or movements including the 1952 State Language Movement. The album spurred great hits like "Bondho Janala", "Bhalobasha Megh", "Bullet Kingba Kobitay", "Eka", "Bus Stoppage", "Bangladesh" etc.
Urban Life influences comprised of stories portraying bus stops, newspaper stand, billboards displaying contest winner beauties, the hawkers, the little girl selling flowers in the street who could touch the glasses of the cars but couldn’t touch the hearts inside or the corporate guy completely missing the enormous sky full of stars above his head while distressed with selling his dreams every now and then for the agony of life.
